FAQ :

Form No. 10BB is the audit report of accounts for entities like trusts, institutions, universities, and hospitals, as required by Rule 16CC of the Income-tax Rules, 1962.

Failure to furnish the audit report in Form No. 10BB along with the return of income can result in the entity being disentitled from claiming exemption under Section 10(23C) of the Income-tax Act.

For assessment years prior to AY 2018-19, Commissioners of Income-tax are authorised to admit applications for condonation of delay in filing Form No. 10BB.

All applications for condonation of delay in filing Form No. 10BB for years prior to AY 2018-19 must be disposed of by 31 March 2021.

For Assessment Year 2018-19 or any subsequent Assessment Years, Commissioners of Income-tax are authorised to admit belated applications where there is a delay of up to 365 days in filing Form No. 10BB.

In all cases, the Commissioner of Income-tax must be satisfied that the applicant was prevented by a reasonable cause from filing the application within the stipulated time.
